Alberta’s COVID-19 projection will include “very challenging numbers”: Premier
Premier Jason Kenney has announced he will deliver a televised address to Albertans Tuesday night, where he will share projections that will include “some very challenging numbers” regarding COVID-19 in the province.
Alberta’s chief medical officer, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, announced last week that officials would be unveiling those projections for the province, similar to what Ontario announced back on Friday.
“Albertans want to know, ‘What are the real numbers?'” said Kenney during Monday’s COVID-19 address. “Beginning tomorrow night we will be providing some of the modelling done by Alberta Health Services, that shows us when we might hit the peak and how well prepared we are for that.”
Kenney adds that he and other provincial officials will provide more details on those projections Wednesday, as to the province’s ability to cope in terms of hospital capacity and medical supplies.
